Lord God Investigator

The six knights who attacked Amn were mainly composed of paladins, supplemented by priests.

Priests in Faerûn are slightly different from priests in other magical planes. They can wear heavy armor, hold giant shields, and use blunt weapons such as maces, war hammers, and clubs.

Only the Mysterious Fire Knights who serve the goddess Mythra have the configuration of a mage group, but the number of mages is not large. The low literacy rate in Faerûn limits the overall number of mages, and learning magic is a long process. It takes almost a lifetime to become a high-level mage.

Most of the young mages are low-level mages and magic apprentices. When they become intermediate mages, they are often middle-aged.

Compared with the difficulty of upgrading a mage, the training of a paladin is much easier. If you are devout enough and practice your combat skills every day, a young person can become an intermediate paladin. By middle age, you may have become a high-level paladin or even a paladin. Legendary paladin.

Paladins can cast third-level divine spells on themselves to improve various attributes of themselves and their teammates. They can also relieve various negative conditions and perform simple treatments.

The combat effectiveness of an army composed of paladins far exceeds that of an army composed of warriors on the traditional battlefields of Faerûn. The coalition of the six knights can be said to be a powerful force that cannot be ignored in Faerûn. Few countries can compete head-on.

However, in the Ascaltra City Bridge area, the powerful paladins were under machine gun fire. Since they had no effective long-range attack methods, they could only use their flesh and blood bodies covered in iron armor to use refueling tactics at the expense of human lives. to break through the defense line.

Charging under a hail of arrows and charging under machine gun fire are two different things. Paladins who thought they could withstand machine gun bullets by relying on their bravery, fearlessness and loyalty were all killed on the spot.

The mages of the Mysterious Fire Mage Group wanted to use magic to blow away the gate tower, but their casting distance was insufficient. Once they got too close, they would be shot by sniper rifles.

The mages tried all kinds of methods, using invisibility, flying, mirror shadow, material mirror, stone skin, appearance, projection...

I originally planned to protect myself with defensive spells and illusions, and quietly approached to cast high-level magic. However, as a high-level mage who tried to do so was hit continuously by a sniper rifle, he was beaten into a sieve in the air and fell down. No mage dared try again.

The effective range of the sniper rifle is 800 meters. The casting distance of the mages, even if they have the spell range extension talent, which increases the casting distance by 50%, is only more than 600 meters at the farthest. Any further away, and the mages' perception cannot locate it at all. Target.

Even the giant shields of the knights could not stop heavy machine gun bullets. The corpses of the knights lay across the bridge area. After several rounds of desperate charges were repelled, the morale of the soldiers was greatly reduced, even if the priest blessed them with "Invigorating Technique" and "Blessing Technique". Had to retreat.

…

Next to the hand-cranked Gatling gun, two men wearing hooded trench coats stood. One of them was a human and the other was a dark elf.

Luo Feng was holding a sniper rifle and looking around with a scope. He had shot the high-level mage who had just used invisibility and illusion to sneak into the casting range.

With eyes that can see through all illusions, Luo Feng is the nemesis of illusionists. Magic that manipulates light and shadow to confuse people's senses has no effect on him.

However, other snipers do not have this ability. Among the red magic and red magic, the skills to directly break the illusion spells have not yet been developed.

The illusionist has considerable restraint on the sniper for the time being.

However, the future is uncertain. With the advancement of science and technology, electronic technology has developed, and technologies such as thermal imaging, infrared imaging, electromagnetic wave induction, etc. have been developed. The mere illusion of light and shadow can only blind people for a while and cannot distort other physical attributes of oneself.

Invisibility can make the mage invisible, but it cannot block the thermal radiation and human magnetic field emitted from his body.

"Mr. Bredlow, these weapons are indeed extremely powerful." Drizzt held up a telescope and observed the tragic scene of corpses strewn in the bridge area, and said with complicated emotions: "However, in just one hour, we have already attacked All the ammunition that took several months to produce is gone. If the enemy's morale hadn't been so depleted, we wouldn't have been able to hold on if we had continued to attack a few more times."

Putting down the telescope, Drizzt looked worried: "This also exposed our strength and aroused the enemy's alert. If the surface countries unite to enter the Dark Territory and launch a full-scale attack on our base area, what should we do? The production efficiency of weapons and ammunition is far less than the rate of supply and consumption, and the base area cannot be defended."

"Comrade, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright. You must have confidence. How long the red flag can be raised depends on people, not weapons and ammunition."

Luo Feng said solemnly: "Yes, in the near future, the Dark Territory base area will face an unprecedented crisis. After the surface countries wake up, they will send large armies into the Dark Territory to carry out a crazy siege on the base area.

The crazier the encirclement and suppression becomes, the more they reflect their fear of us. As long as we can survive the encirclement and suppression and defeat several enemy encirclement and suppression campaigns, the situation will gradually change and the road to the future will become smoother and smoother. "

Drizzt frowned, still looking worried. Originally, he only wanted to liberate the city of Menzoberranzan, but now this goal has gradually changed. Bredlow subtly changed Drizzt's original intention.

It seems that liberating the continent of Faerun is not a fantasy.

However, when he thought about facing an encirclement and suppression by the entire continent, Drizzt felt that the pressure was suffocating.

The Red Army's combat effectiveness is very strong, but it is difficult to last. The ammunition produced by the arsenal in the base area working overtime cannot withstand such consumption.

If the enemy continues to encircle and suppress the base area, the rear is no longer stable, and once the arsenal ceases production, rifles, machine guns and mortars will become wooden sticks and scrap metal.

Bredreau thinks the future is bright, but Drizzt feels that the road ahead is getting increasingly difficult.

Luo Feng saw Drizzt's worry and said patiently: "Don't be discouraged. If the coalition forces of the surface countries really enter the Dark Territory, it will be difficult for us, but the enemy will be even harder. And if we can grow stronger in the struggle, the enemy will only gradually Weakness, one waxes and wanes, and one day the strength will reverse."

Drizzt gave him a questioning look.

Luo Feng said slowly: "The environment in the Underdark is complex, and the surface army has far more difficulties to overcome than us. Among the underground races, monster races such as beholders and mind flayers will not reach any agreement with the surface army. They will only Treat them as intruders. It’s hard to say whether the dark elves, the masters of the Underdark, can tolerate surface races operating in their territory. I bet that even if they don’t send troops to stop them, they will quietly cause trouble for them.”
